Gracie point of view…
I got to my new room and sighed immediately, I sat on the small bed. I can't believe the guy found me here. What's up with him anyway?.
Huddy hopped on the bed beside me and stared at my face.
"The guy is a witch"
She said as a matter of factly.
"He is?"
I asked not believing what she said. No wonder he can appear and disappear. But wait, he mentioned it yesterday. Menh, I totally forgot.
"For him to be able to find you through your scent, I think you both are connected"
Huddy said and I chuckled. She is just assuming.
"There is no way it can be so. I am a human"
I replied.
"A human who talks to animals. Don't you think there is something about you?"
"Huddy, there is nothing about me. I am just a human girl that is lucky to have a gift. Anyone can be gifted so it's no big deal"
I told her, reminding her who I am.
"It's alright. I was just saying."
She stated.
"Say no more"
She jumped down and headed out. I looked around the small room and smiled.
"This place will serve me"
I said to myself. It only needs a little touch and it would be like my room back in the woods. I picked my bag and went to drop it where my other bags are beside the bed. I have not gotten a wardrobe yet.
I returned back to the bed and found a box lying on the bed. I did not see the box when I entered the room or yesterday I came here. It was a little box and it looked quite old.
I thought of shifting it by the side, maybe whoever has it would come and get it back whichever means it's kept there. Mom had warned me severally not to pick things that are not mine but as I wanted to shift it, I grabbed it instead. I don't even know how I did that, it was like I was compelled to pick it and still being confused, I found myself opening the box.
There is a silver necklace inside the box and it sparkles when I felt it. I knew there was something about the necklace. I close the box back and kept it under the pillow without knowing why I have to keep it there, it was like everything I did, I did it out of will.
I stood up and went out of the room in search of Huddy. I want to ask her if she knows something about the necklace.
I found her in the sitting room lying on the couch.
"Huddy!"
She opened her eyes and looked at me.
"I am hungry"
She cried out.
Oh my, I actually thought she was going out. I did not know she was hungry that's why she left and I have nothing edible at the moment except some cheese I came with.
"Come on, I have got some cheese in the room"
I said and started walking back to the room. I expected her to follow me but when I turned to see if she was following, she was not; rather she laid calmly on the cushion.
I went back and picked her up and left for the room.
When I got to the room, I laid her on my bed and went for the beg that had the cheese on it. It was the bag I came with. I got the cheese and fed her and made her drink some water and she came back to life. Who knows how long she has eaten. She will need to tell me her story.
"So you good now, who knows how long you have eaten?"
"Thanks Gracie, you are so kind. I haven't met a kind human before or should I say maybe because they don't understand animals"
"It could be the reason. You know it's weird when you really don't understand what the other is saying, for instance,people speaking different languages. You didn't expect them to be kind to themselves, you know it's relatable to human beings as well, when you don't understand yourselves you are meant to be mean. I can understand you, had it been I came in and I saw you laying on my couch and I don't know if you are hungry or not and because I don't understand you, I can pick up something and chase you away, so it is what it is."
